Default Vampires

Why are people so interested in vampire related games?
I have seen this in Facebook,games,movies ,books etc.
Theres a whole trend way back to the 50s about vampire related stories.
What makes a vampire so attractive?or unattractive?

It seems vampires are more popular these last few months.
I have my own theory why they're popular nowadays. I think it has to do with the dark side, people throughout the ages were always fascinated with dark, evil, sometimes even macabre. I think a vampire symbolizes that dark part of human nature. Dark and mystery, given flesh.

A new trend in modern society is that taboos are no longer taboos, people are way more open to strange ideas and to the dark and mysterious. I think it's because of this, that vampires are more popular nowadays. Humans are fascinated with everything mysterious and dark.

Hmmm, Personally, I think its because Vampires are supposed to be extremely actractive creatures... They lure their prey by their looks, smell, and just the fact that they are so mysterious is intensly actractive..Also, it could have something to do with the fact that Vampires tend to bite their prey on the neck... A bite on the neck can be a very sexual touch, and again.... very actractive... A lot of Vampire stories are also romance stories.... Take Twilight for example... its about Vampires, and its a love story.... There are others like this that dont' come to mind at the moment, but that is my opinion on why there is such a craze about Vampires.

I think their attraction comes from the dark side..aren`t we all supposed to be attracted by the dark side ..a little?Thats why redemption comes into scene.

Yes, everyone must withstand the darkness in them. The darkside is not some external thing - nobody can make you bad, only your own choices. (Thinking of Hitler etc...) They all made choices, as do we.

As for Vampires... well I do enjoy Underworld series as an action movie. Apart from that they are a creature made up by man... possibly to show how attractive and deceiving the darkside can be. It can lure you in and then bang! You are caught by the darkside.

Of course, these are all fictional vampires. But there are also otherkin vampires. I'm afraid I've never talked to one, so I don't know about their point of view.
